Yuanjiajie is the most relaxed and popular scenic spot in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park. Travel agencies like to go. If you play carefully, it takes a total of 2 hours.Yuanjiajie contains four attractions, all on one road. If you come from the chaos, you will arrive at the back garden in turn – the enchanted platform – the Qiankun column – the first bridge in the world. However, if the white dragon ladder comes up and takes the eco-car, it will first arrive at the Qiankun column, then turn left to go to the enchantment platform. The back garden does not have to go. It is the same scene as the ecstasy, and the angle is not as good as the ecstasy. it is good. Then turn right to the first bridge in the world.1、后花园 (back garden)

1. There are several entrances to the forest park. Don’t take the two ticket stations of Yangjiajie and Tianzishan. It is too far away and the road conditions are very bad. It is recommended to enter from the forest park. If you do not live in the mountains, it is recommended to live in Wulingyuan in the next few days. It is a small town from the Wulingyuan ticket station. The environment is very good. It is convenient and quick to enter and leave the forest park from Wulingyuan. 2. There are many people waiting in line at each bus stop in the scenic spot. Try to reserve more time. The basic queue time is more than half an hour, every day. 3. If the physical strength is OK, don’t want to line up to take the Bailong elevator, you can go up the hill and go uphill, and walk slowly for an hour. 4. It is strongly recommended to take the line of the Shili Gallery on the mountain or down the mountain. There are countless observation decks on the road. The scenery is excellent. There are few streets on the observation deck on the mountain. There are few people, just look around and take pictures. Personally think that the scenery of the section of the Shili Gallery train is the most common line of the whole line, it is precisely this section, the tour group went the most. 5. The best place to watch the sunrise is in Daguantai. This is a well-known thing, but in fact, if you can see the clouds and the rainbow, you need luck. It is raining the night before, and I will be lucky to see it. If you love photography, you can refer to the weather first.

杨家界总共有三条线：1. Natural Great Wall After taking the green car in the scenic spot and getting off at Yangjiajie, go up to the Yangjiajie cableway and go up in the direction. After the cableway, you will walk to the natural Great Wall in 5 minutes.

Then return the original way. Walk along the other big road. After the next step, you will see the forked road. On the left is to go to the sky and the air corridor. On the right is to go to Wulongzhai and Tianbo. 2. Wulongzhai, TianbofuGo to Tianbofu for about 1.5 hours. Many people go to the small platform in Tianbofu. In fact, it is not necessary. The above perspective is not good. You can go around the place of “entrance” and “export” from below, and the angle of view is much better.

Yangjiajie – Tianbofu3. Step into the sky, air corridorReturn to the fork, and go to the left is the way to the sky and the air corridor. Going to the sky and the air corridor, although it is very far away, it takes 3 hours to go back and forth, and it goes up and down, but all the essences of Yangjiajie are concentrated here. The large-scale peak wall landscape is very shocking. It is strongly recommended to go. It is the second best spot to be with the old house.

Yangjiajie – Air Corridor

When you go to the forked place and go to the sky and the air corridor, you will first go through the five prayers, then go a little further. When you go to a canteen, you will see a path, only a few steps, on the ground. There is a stone tablet that goes to the direction of the first bridge in the world. After the road goes down 20 meters, I can see the crossroads and go to the left and right sides. Anyway, I am on the left side and can reach the Yangjiajie parking lot in a few minutes. The place has been saved for half an hour. After reading the steps and the air corridor, remember to go out from this path!

Tianzishan mountainTianzi Mountain is the second most popular scenic spot except Yuanjiajie. Because the spots are concentrated and easy to play, it naturally becomes a place where the tour group is concentrated. It takes only 2 hours to play around in a circle.1. Shentang Bay, Point PlatformThe main viewpoint of Tianzi Mountain is in Helong Park, but there are two small points in front, namely Shentang Bay and Point Terrace. After getting on the bus and talking to the driver, he will stop at the corresponding point. The perspective of Shentang Bay is not very good. You can’t go, it’s better to order the station. There are very few people there, which is good for taking pictures.

Tianzishan – Dianjiangtai 2, Helong ParkHelong Park is not big, there are five or six observation decks, but the best view is only one observation deck, which is the Xihai Peak Forest, or Yunqingyan.

Tianzi Mountain – Helong Park

3. Fairy flower, Yubifeng, Tianzige, Samurai horsesAfter finishing the Helong Park, I went to a forked intersection and went up to take the cableway. At this time, you should turn to the right. There are still a few points to look at. There are fairy flowers, royal pens, emperor and samurai horses.

Huangshizhai

Huangshizhai is an independent scenic spot, close to the Forest Park ticketing station. After entering the forest park ticket station, take 5 minutes to the big oxygen bar square, turn left to take the eco-car to the Huangshizhai cableway station. Take a circle of the big loop for about 2 hours.The front mountain down the mountain road is to reach the big oxygen bar square, about 1 hour. Later, the mountain down the mountain road to the Huangshizhai cableway station. Compared with several other scenic spots, the scenery of Huangshizhai is average, not very stunning, and it is the same peak forest as Yuanjiajie. If time is not enough, you can give up.

ten mile gallery

There are small trains to sit, about 5 minutes in a single trip, more than 20 pieces. You can also walk, about half an hour one way. Take the eco-car to the Shili Gallery Station and walk back to the end of the Shili Gallery. If time is not enough, it is recommended to take the train directly.

Yangjiajie is located in the northwest of Wulingyuan, adjacent to Tianzishan in the north. There are three tourist areas, namely, Xiangxi River, Longquan Gorge and Baimen Valley. Tianbo House is also here.

If all is fully played, it will take about 6-7 days;

Tips：You are likely to be stunned by complex terrain and shredded sights. In fact, you only need to remember two points to identify the position:

1. Wulingyuan and Forest Park are the two most commonly used entrances. From one to the other, you can walk through the scenic area along the circular route.2. The steep cliff divides the scenery into two on the mountain and under the mountain. In the area, the Golden Whip Creek and the two entrances are under the mountain. The rest of the attractions are on the hills. There are various ropeways and elevators under the hills and mountains. You can also walk along the stone steps. 3. There are many forks in the core scenic spot. Many beautiful scenic spots are relatively remote. From one attraction to another, tourists often cannot estimate the time correctly. It is a pure self-help tour. What people often encounter

Zhangjiajie Tour’s Accommadation：

How to arrange accommodation in Zhangjiajie1. Before (or after) the day of playing Tianmenshan, it is best to live near the railway station. There are many inns near the railway station. The conditions are similar, generally 100. -200 or so2. In the forest park scenic spot, it is recommended to live in the village of Lilac. Zhangjiajie scenic area is very large, generally have to play 2-3 days.The scenery distinguishes between the mountain and the mountain, and most of the attractions are on the mountain. The scenic spots on the mountain definitely cannot be played. If you don’t stay in the mountains for one night, you have to go back, but this is basically a three-hour walk. It takes 2-3 hours to go down the mountain, and it takes a lot of effort; take a cableway or a Bailong ladder and pay for it. And returning to the mountains in the next day, you need to spend another physical strength, money and time, so it is not worth the candle. So most of the tourists choose to stay in the mountains for one night, which saves time, effort and money.

The cloves are full of shops, and they are very convenient to go to the environmental protection station. I live in the first Xia Keju in the village of Clove, although the conditions are not very good, but the advantages are two: One is cheaper, the second is the nearest to the station, and often comes back from the scenic spot, always It is hoped that the sooner you arrive at the inn, the better!If you want to choose a better inn,you can consider the Bajie Youth Hostel in Lilac Village, as well as Milan, snails, etc., and the reputation is good.

3. It is best to live in Wulingyuan that night before playing the Grand Canyon. The Grand Canyon is relatively close to Wulingyuan. End of the forest park in the evening, from Wulingyuan to the scenic spot, live in Wulingyuan, the most convenient way to go to the Grand Canyon.

Zhangjiajie Tour’s luggage

Due to the scenic spots in Zhangjiajie, Zhangjiajie’s consignment is very mature.You can entrust any inn in the Zhangjiajie urban area,or at the central bus station, check in the luggage to the designated inn on the mountain,as long as the name, mobile phone No., and the name of the inn, 20 yuan per piece of luggage. Similarly, when in the mountains, can also entrust the inn on the mountain to check the baggage to the city’s central bus station or any designated inn. The baggage check-in can be done by any inn.
